Random Dreams

Posted on December 30, 2008
For some reason I have been dreaming a lot about pole vaulting. The dreams are always the same....I return to my college track team and step in for an injured teammate and compete. It is a very stressful dream because I think about how unprepared I am for the competition...

Billing

Posted on December 30, 2008
One of the higher ups at work decided to teach me and the other new associates how to do the billing for our corporate clients. Luckily, I am only in charge of 5 client accounts. The process is crazy. Coordinating between our corporate headquarters and our world wide locations for any hours worked on behalf of my clients is so time consuming...

Travel Nightmares

Posted on December 24, 2008
Last Friday I flew out to SLC, so I could drive back to Chicago with my husband. The interesting story is not that I flew out to SLC, but the adventure of getting to the airport, and eventually getting to SLC.So, I arranged to be picked up by a shuttle service to get to the airport at a reasonable time...

Zombie

Posted on December 16, 2008
I'll start the post with another pic of Lobo smiling..Work and Bar ExamI am a walking zombie now adays. I get to work early and study for the February bar exam for a few hours. After listening to one of the IPOD bar lectures I start my work projects for the day...

Perfumed...

Posted on December 09, 2008
A co-worker of mine has recently begun wearing a noticeably strong perfume. It is giving me a headache every time I have to work with her. Everybody has noticed and agreed her perfume is horrible. So, yesterday I knocked on her door to ask her a question about a project...

Life after law school.....

Posted on November 15, 2008
Work is going well. This week was less busy for me, so I spent a lot of it helping other co-workers with their client files. And on Friday I found out that I am going to start training in a speciality area that I am extremely interested in. I am very excited for the opportunity to train in this area...

Random Updates

Posted on November 04, 2008
I am nervous for the election results tonight. Of course I will be up as late as necessary, watching the results pour in. I voted a few weeks ago and so today I will just be a passive observer.In addition to obsessing over the election results, I will be busy all day at work...

Palin and Troopergate

Posted on November 04, 2008
Sarah Palin was vindicated on the Troopergate allegations late last night. Of course the front page stories on most media websites are not related to the Troopergate investigation, but that Palin's health is excellent. Nice, the media smears her for weeks on this Troopergate issue, and then doesn't cover the story when it is positive for her...

Go Packers!!!!!!!!!

Posted on November 02, 2008
I am heading to the sports bar in a few hours to watch the Packers-Titans game. Hopefully the Packers upset the undefeated Titans.GO PACKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Halloween..

Posted on November 01, 2008
I spent all Halloween night with a bucket of candy on my lap, waiting for little ones to come by. And not one child came by! So, I am left with a bucket of candy, that I apparently will have to eat all by myself! I am hoping that I will be able to bring it in to work on Wednesday morning, as a post-election party favor...

Interesting Election

Posted on November 01, 2008
It may be an interesting election night. Here is the latest from Zogby:"ZOGBY SATURDAY: Republican John McCain has pulled back within the margin of error... The three-day average holds steady, but McCain outpolled Obama 48% to 47% in Friday, one day, polling...

TGIF Again

Posted on October 31, 2008
I am very thankful it is Friday. I cannot wait to sleep in tomorrow and relax a little bit. I am pretty worn out by Thursday every week. In fact, I can barely keep my eyes open for an entire episode of Grey's Anatomy (and its not because its a boring show)...

My morning..

Posted on October 30, 2008
I woke up early this morning and biked for a half hour before getting ready for work. I could barely keep my eyes open for the first ten minutes of biking. It brought back memories of my morning training runs back in college. I hated/liked those morning runs...

Weird Interview

Posted on October 26, 2008
The Obama camp punished a Florida TV station for asking so-called hardball questions. The last time I checked this was America, not Iran or Russia. You can watch the video on the second link. What a strange reaction to semi-hardball questions.Obama Camp Cuts Off WFT After Interview With Joe BidenYou Tube Video of the Interview

Updates

Posted on October 19, 2008
I am still very busy at work. I have a list of projects on the whiteboard in my office. Every day I knock one off the list, only to have another one added to it. It is overwhelming, but also exciting at the same time. I am used to feeling overwhelmed, because that is what I felt like in law school 24 x 7...

Voter Fraud

Posted on October 13, 2008
Is anyone surprised about all of the voter fraud going on in swing states? Felons, children, and even dead people are being registered to vote. I guess the acorn doesn't really fall far from the tree, does it?

Sports

Posted on September 28, 2008
My Packers are self destructing. Aaron Rodgers is letting himself get frustrated early in the game, which is hurting the Packers offense. And the play calling has been pretty bad lately. I know that McCarthy wants to get Grant back in to the offense, but come on, start handing off to Brandon Jackson instead for awhile...

The One-Upper

Posted on September 16, 2008
I work with a one-upper (someone who has to outdo every comment or story I discuss). It does not matter if she actually knows about the subject I am talking about, she has an opinion and it will always differ from whatever my perspective is. It is seriously getting to the point that I cannot stand to hear her voice...

T.G.I.F. !!!

Posted on September 12, 2008
I am ecstatic that it is Friday. This work week has beaten me up pretty badly, and I need some relaxation this weekend. Even though work has been brutal, it has also been good. I have developed a bit of a specialty at work, and now have people coming to me fairly routinely to do certain things...

Politics in the classrooom/workplace

Posted on September 11, 2008
I do not care what party or belief system you adhere to, if you are a teacher or boss, please keep your political opinions to yourself. It is slightly intimidating to have a teacher flat out make fun of your beliefs and state that he thinks all people in a particular party are stupid...

Lazy Saturday

Posted on September 06, 2008
Got up early. Ran a few miles with Lobo. Now am relaxing and watching Center Stage, while Lobo is busy snoring next to me.

Update

Posted on September 01, 2008
Everything is going well for me now adays. Have been slammed at work, which is a good thing. I even ended up coming in to the office on Sunday for a few hours. But, it was nice to get a big part of my project done while no one was in the office to disturb me...

Business Friendly States

Posted on August 07, 2008
Forbes has a great article about the effects of being an anti-business friendly state. The article is entitled, "Anti-Business States Awash in Red Ink." The article notes that the states that push businesses out of their state, through increased regulations and taxation, often rely on the federal government to bail them out for their budget shortfalls...

Strange

Posted on August 06, 2008
I saw the weirdest sight on the way home from work yesterday. In the rear seat of the minivan in front of me was a child (around 8yrs old or so) buzzing his hair off with an electric razor. No one in the van seemed to notice or care that this child was both shaving his head in the car and probably making a gross mess by doing so! Strange!

Reflections about my new job.

Posted on July 31, 2008
I work extremely long hours during the work week. Umm, going corporate does not mean a straight 9-5 schedule. My job is a million times more complicated than what I thought it would be. There are so many aspects to completing a large corporate transaction...

Bad Day

Posted on July 31, 2008
I woke up extremely tired today. I pretty much showered with my eyes closed this morning. After I got myself ready for work I headed out to my car. Because this day is destined to be bad, there was a ticket sitting on my windshield. I would care more about the ticket, except I am too dang tired to care...

I love the Nasa Pic of the Day Archive!!!!!!

The Nasa Pic of the Day Archive! If astronomy is one of your hobbies, you probably already know about this site. But even if you are not an astronomy geek, these space pics are pretty cool.
